Attila really isn't bad at all. It's a product of its time, being the circa 1970 heavy rock with a Hammond Organ sound (closer to Deep Purple minus the guitar solos) and if Billy Joel wasn't in it, it wouldn't get all the hate.

I think he pretty much said those exact words before it came out. I give him some props for being straightforward by stating that most of his fans wouldn't like it, but he wanted to do it anyway.

Wisconsin: 'Tis A Silly Place

It amuses me how much of a backwater Chicagoans think Milwaukee is. I was talking to one who absolutely flabbergasted that they found a Thai restaurant up here.
